Abstract

Neuroimaging techniques, particularly magnetic resonance imaging, yield increasingly sophisticated markers of brain structure and function. Combined with ongoing developments in machine learning, these methods refine our abilities to detect subtle epileptogenic lesions and develop reliable prognostics.

Keywords: MRI; drug-resistant epilepsy; epilepsy surgery; image processing; imaging techniques.
